Saveria Teston

PhD candidate in Cultural and Environmental Heritage (39th cycle), she conducts her research on the relationships between narration and regeneration processes. Graduated in Architecture from the University of Ferrara (1998) and in Italian Literature from the University of Bologna (2023), she integrates twenty years of professional experience in urban and landscape policies with academic research. Her doctoral project, Ecology of Narration for Self-conscious Energy Transitions (supervisor: Prof. Alessandro Iannucci), investigates how the composition of different narrative forms (myth, fairy tale, song, epic, novel), combined with poietic actions such as artistic production, technical invention, symbolic re-signification and political experimentation, can act as a generative organism of the collective energy necessary for social metamorphosis. Alongside her academic work, she collaborates as an activist and professional with research centers, public administrations, SMEs and Third Sector organizations.
